I’d have bought the new Gabriel Black Leather jacket for just the hardware and collar alone—bright, clinky chrome rings that glint in the deepest club gloom, and a chic high collar that throws it down like no other. The leather textures on the jacket are very good too—better in some Windlight presets than others, but then, who of us looks our best in Default? Not I, certainly, and I look forward to the day I can force the world to see me in my best light. (Are you listening, Lindens? No? I thought not.)

The rest of the outfit comes straight out of my closet: the Sweetest Goodbye skirt with its cunning little hip pockets that echo those on the jacket sleeves, RunoRuno’s peerless knit stockings, the classic Redgrave biker boots. The hair is Vanity Hair’s Wipeout, an versatile style that, oddly, works as well with LeLutka chic as it does Street Ratwear. And the sunglasses are Pippo’s Aviator specchio chiara, with the best mirrored lenses on the grid…and cheap? omg!

Gloves are by Digit Darkes, piercings are free from Kanival Tattoo, as it the thumb ring from Mimi’s Choice.

All together they work to make the sort of outfit you could get really real in…
